Features: Over 5,000 years, the content of sexual culture across various aspects and dynasties is vast and ever-growing. However, how can we summarize, refine, and correctly grasp it? Studying history is not just about indulging in nostalgia for the past, but about applying ancient wisdom to the present and using the past to enlighten the present. So, what conclusions and lessons can we draw from the 5,000-year history of sexual culture? Ten years ago, I didn’t fully grasp this, but now I feel I understand it better. If it’s just a pile of materials, it’s easy to get lost, but some guiding principles are better. Therefore, in this book, I added "How Sex Can Influence History" and "Three Epic Poems Reflecting Ancient Love" as the "Introduction," and "Historical Insights and Conclusions" as the "Afterword," to help readers gain a deeper rational understanding while also strengthening the analysis throughout the book.
